Role
Who you are
- We are looking for engineers who are eager to ship quickly, take ownership of their work, and learn new things every day
- This role requires both strong technical skills and great communication abilities
What the job involves
- We are looking for a backend-focused full stack engineer to join our Platform team and own our destination integrations
- In this role, you will build and improve the destinations that move customer data from warehouses to hundreds of SaaS tools
- This is an opportunity to ship code daily that solves real problems for users. On this small team, each engineer plays an important role in expanding our destination catalog to fuel the next phase of Hightouch's growth
- Working with a wide variety of APIs
- Developing new destination features and integrations based on customer needs
- Working cross-functionally with other teams in engineering, product, design, customer success, and sales
- Debugging and improving existing destinations through code reviews and customer support tickets
- Helping guide technical direction and priorities for destinations and UX
- Communicating with customers and coworkers to understand requirements and explain solutions
- Writing code that is scalable, maintainable, and meets our high bar for quality
Application process
- Intro Call [15-30m]: Introductory call with either a member of our recruiting team or the hiring manager to get to know each other and see if the role could be a good mutual fit
- Take-Home Coding Exercise [3-4h]: Implement a basic version of a Hightouch destination to see what it’s like to work on reverse ETL
- Product Interview [90m]: Consider customer use cases live and translate them into technical decisions
- Technical Project Interview [60m]: Work with the interviewer to deep-dive on a complex integration problem and design a solution based on customer and technical requirements
- Hiring Manager Interview [30m]: Chat with hiring manager about past experiences and future operating preferences to assess fit on company values and operating principles
Our take
The use of data integration software involves combining data from different sources to provide users with a unified view. Due to the growing need to combine several heterogeneous data sources, along with the rise of cloud computing, demand for effective data integration tools and services has been increasing.
While Fivetran is one of the most prominent platforms companies use to “extract, transform, and load” data into its warehouse, Hightouch does the opposite of that, what has become known as “reverse ETL.” For example, a company could use Fivetran to get the data into its warehouse and then use Hightouch to get the data from the warehouse and into Salesforce.
Hightouch serves a diverse range of clients, from B2B giants like Kong, Plaid, and Mattermost to B2C leaders like Nando's and Autotrader. With recent acquisitions including the product-led sales automation startup Workbase and the knowledge management startup Whatis, alongside an expanded partnership with Snowflake, Highlight continues to enhance its capabilities and provide seamless data activation for its growing customer base.
